Principal Recruitment Consultant – Civils (Rail, Transportation, Water, Infrastructure, Highways)
Location: Derby, London, Bolton, or Doncaster
Remuneration: Up to £35,000, Uncapped Commission, Benefits
Billing Well — But Blocked From Growing? This Civils Desk Offers You Real Progression, Territory, and Earning Power.
If you’re a 360 recruiter in Civil Engineering who’s consistently billing but feeling stuck — fighting over clients internally, facing ever-higher targets without real support, or watching leadership roles go to someone else — Ganymede’s growing Civils division could be your next step.
Here, you’ll take ownership of your patch, with real client backing and a clear route to progress into leadership or Principal-level earnings.
The Role and About You
We’re expanding our specialist Civils recruitment team across either Rail, Transportation, Water, Infrastructure, and Highways — and we’re looking for an experienced recruiter ready to build, grow, and own a high-value desk.
You’ll step into a market where Ganymede already has strong client relationships across major frameworks and projects — so you’re not starting from scratch. You’ll inherit warm accounts and live roles, but with the freedom to develop new business in your own style.
About you:
You’re already billing well in civils recruitment but want to move past restrictive targets, shared accounts, or territory battles.
You’ve proven you can win business and deliver — but you’re ready for a desk where you get full credit and control over your success.
You’re commercially sharp, resilient, and want progression — whether that’s into leadership or simply bigger, uncapped earnings.
You have a high level of spoken and written English.
Your role will involve:
Growing your own civils desk within a high-demand market (Rail, Water, Highways, etc.).
Managing the full 360 process — from client development and account management to candidate sourcing and placement.
Leveraging Ganymede’s existing civils client base while expanding into your own sector.
Contributing to the team’s long-term growth — with potential to step into leadership as we expand further.
Why Ganymede?
Recruiters join us because they’re ready for more ownership and real progression — and stay because they see their billings and careers grow year after year.
Here’s what makes us different:
No moving thresholds — our commission structure is simple, transparent, and designed to reward delivery, not penalise.
Clear progression pathways — No guesswork: structured routes from Trainee right through to Associate Director.
Territory ownership — you’ll get clear market space to grow without fighting internal competition over clients.
Support that actually helps — marketing, compliance, and delivery resources so you spend more time closing deals, less time firefighting.
Next Steps:
If you’re billing but blocked — and you’re ready to grow your civils recruitment career with more ownership, bigger earnings, and clear progression — let’s talk.
